Description

A straw tube detector prototype consisting of six straws each having 6 mm diameter and 20 cm length is characterised using premixed gas of Argon and C$O_2$ in volumetric ratio of 70/30 at a flow rate of 3 l/h. F$e^{55}$ X-ray source having characteristic energy of 5.9 keV is used to measure the gain and energy resolution. The primary goal of this work is to study the variation of gain and energy resolution of straw tube detector under prolonged radiation, such studies are important before using straw tube as tracking detector at harsh radiation environment in the future heavy ion collision experiment in high energy physics.
